Introduction.
Yeah, wasn't he the guy who fought Shunsui and took his eye during the first fight?
He took her powers but she survived. So I'm expecting the two girls there to defect. To what end their defection matters, don't know.
I'm not sure he took her powers, but rather their lifeforce. Bazz-B and the other guy had their energy taken as well. Just seemed like Bach stole energy from those 4 underlings to power-up/revive the 4 that got manhandled below.
As was stated above, this was just a silly way to give the Zero squad a "wow they're tough" moment before curb stomping them (as we all knew would happen).
The Elites are all discoloured like Bambietta though, so I don't think they were simply revived.
Title of the chapter pretty much describes all of the latest Kubo releases.
Next chapter's title is going to be "Fuck it."
followed by "Who cares."
and then the rousing finale "I'm not even trying anymore."
"We're doing it live!"
All those abilities rolled in one are going to be massively confusing... I am also assuming imagination one is included. I admit I have no clue about how this story is going to continue, what the hell could Ichigo do against Yamamoto's bankai included on to a massive list of abilities like making every hit miss (the wind), being uncutable (the iron), regeneration (the superstar), being able to make anything love you or turn into a zombie if you bleed on them, making your power grow for every enemy you defeat, super strength, fire, thunder, explosions, jails, fear and a whole other range of stuff i cant remember right now... I dont think Aizen was ever that broken to be honest.
That's why this whole arc is so stupid. He could have just made the Quincy a small group of stupidly powerful people who could pick off shini like babies.
The mistake was giving then dumb names and ranks and then making the whole bankai theft pointless.
If it wasn't for zero division this arc would be a bust.
P.S. Fucking BazzB should have been up in the elites.
Are we even sure that he has all of those abilities? When he gives people their abilities, he's not necessarily giving them HIS abilities. Remember the Lloyd brothers? They had the same letter, but didn't have exactly the same ability. They had a similar ability, but not exactly the same. When he gives them his powers, he could simply be "awakening" or somehow create a power inside of them by manipulating their soul - like how the Fullbringers all don't have exactly the same abilities, despite originating from Hollows.
He gave himself a letter too, why would he have to do that if he has all of their abilities? I don't think it's ever been stated he has all of their abilities. It does say that he absorbs the soul of the person his soul attached too, but I don't think it's been stated he absorbs their abilities too. We do know he has Yamamoto's bankai - but not because his soul had touched him and he absorbed his soul when he killed him, but because he absorbed his bankai like all of the other Quincy did.
Technically no, we don't know any of this because Kubo hasn't explained any of what he meant. What he said was that he can share his soul with someone, and when they die, all their skills, talents, knowledge, etc are engraved on the piece of Yhwach's soul and returned to him.
Spoiler: show
it's so simple. Just have a shitload of humans touch him, then kill him when he's weak due to his soul being all over the place. problem solved?
Well i only mentioned it cause of the panel i attach below

, though to be fair, it still doesnt say Bach gets the abilities, and i admit i am jumping to conclusions since he hasnt used any of the re deceased stenritter powers yet.
Unless the reviving his elite guard counts, and that it can be linked to the zombie guy power, but i leave that to the CSI members of the community to determine if that is a sign of anything.
LIKE THOSE THINGS IN HARRY POTTER, AMIRITE
